Getting married in Florence!  The capital of Tuscany is often referred to as the "Jewel of the Renaissance". With thousands of visitors every year Florence is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is on a lot of must visit in your life time lists!

Town hall of Florence where civil marriages are celebrated

Florence is a vibrant and fun city full of history and  a lot of heart! In the past we have organised weddings where all the guests are accommodated in a villa just outside of the city, in a hotel in the heart of the city and in apartments dotted around the city. There really is a lot of choice to suit all budgets.

Catholic wedding in the heart of Florence

Florence is one of Italy's iconic cities instantly recognisable by the skyline and the dome of the cathedral, the ponte vecchio and Piazza del signoria....  When I am asked to recommend a city location my preference over Rome is Florence.

There is an elegance to this city and with so many incredible locations to host your wedding celebrations  from a castle over looking the city to a villa owned by nobility or a hotel with views over this beautiful city. It makes it a perfect choice for a city wedding in Italy!



Town hall of Florence

 In Florence there is the American church and the Church of England church in Florence where religious ceremonies may take place. If you were thinking of hosting your wedding celebration at a private villa, both the ministers from these churches would be delighted to come out and perform the blessing.

For non Catholic weddings you would have to be married legally first.

Florence also has a stunning synagogue but please note the synagogues in most cases only marry Orthodox couples who have fulfilled all the religious requirements. If you wish to hold a Jewish ceremony in a villa or castle, we recommend you fly over with your own Rabbi. Although there is a couple of lovely Rabbi's in Italy who are happy to perform your wedding celebration at a private villa.
